The Worlds of Katherine Kurtz

Quote from: Laurna on October 26, 2024, 02:59:09 PMMy heart goes out to Edwin and his concern for Grecotha.

My heart would go out to Edwin more if he hadn't just sucker-punched my little dude. 

Poor Edwin. He does seem to get jerked around a bit. His love for the university and academic life seems to suit him. I wonder if he's a little jealous of Amy's affection for Airich. Our group has enough problems facing them. We don't need any jealousy or internal disagreements. They are involved in an extremely serious threat to the university, its city, and the kingdom. They need to focus on that.

Edwin is the youngest and has far less life experience than any of the others. 
He is not jealous of Amy's affection for Airich in the sense he has feelings for her but he is definitely beginning to feel an unwanted third - a gooseberry to coin a Britishism- and, just perhaps, is a tad resentful that Amy and Airich's growing closeness is spoiling the friendship he thought he had with Airich.

He would entirely agree that they are losing focus, it seems to him that leaving Grecotha is deserting the ship. Hopefully someone can help him see a bigger picture. Like I say his world is very small. 

Wonderful Marc,  I love seeing Bede take charge of some action.

At last someone is going to try to help Gwendolyn and to pay attention to their mission regarding the Willimites. And how will they respond when they get the summons from the King?

You can't really expect them to help Gwendolyn before they have even learned that she is missing, and so far only Bede has recently learned that and just now found Edwin to let him know. And the others aren't ignoring the Willimites; that's what the scrying was for. Remember, just a very short time (hours? Less than a full day?) has passed in the game, and various things are happening back to back in that very short span of time. It only seems like a long time because we are getting the posts days apart rather than minutes or an hour or two apart.

Not to mention some of us(me)are having difficulty in keeping up with which century we are in.  I caught myself dragging Kelson into the war against Joux!

And I was envisaging Duncan living more than 3 centuries.

That is one viscous dog. Glad his trainer is on our side.

Love Bede shooting arrows through the window.  Great job Bede.

Well that was quite a set to. Good for Bede and the dog for taking down their share of the Willimites who don't seem to be too good at skullduggery.

Well the majority of de Nore's underlings are useful idiots. The officers and leaders on the other hand are the dangerous ones.

We talked about this behind the scenes. As you can see, it depended on the rolls of the dice. Even when we gave them a chance to be dangerous, they would not rise to the occasion.

It's true: I was hoping they could wound someone, but no luck.

Quote from: DerynifanK on November 12, 2024, 02:42:32 PMGlad that Gwendolyn has been rescued and is being treated by Elspeth. I know our  friends will take good care of her and her uncle hopefully will be grateful and more inclined to listen to what they have to say.

DFK, Agreed! And I've got a feeling that Gwendolyn could end up being an interesting character, she seems to have a lot of potential. And sass.

A lovely, moving scene.  Thank you, Revanne.
